</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1.
Does your school use an RTO to auspice to course? If so they have a
responsibility to aid all trainers under the AQTF.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2.
Pearson Education provide 'Tertiary Press" books for the Cert III and Cert
II I have a class set of these and use some of the activities from them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3.
Allan Barnes and AIET have good workbooks but I tend to mix and match activites
tyoi suit the students - may use a whole unit from the workbook or use my own
activities with the Tertiary Press books.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>4.
Get to know your students - this will help in setting tasks. Remember VET is
designed to be assessed in various ways you can use role plays, project tasks,
verbal tests, demonstrations etc. I don't use the same assessment plans
from year to year therefore making it more relevant for the students I have and
this is what is implicitly mentioned in the AQTF. Although in saying this
may tasks tend to be similar each year.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>5.
The Cert III VITTA Disk is quite useful for those teachers with students doing
scored assessment - thoroughly recommend it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>6.
The VET day late Feb would be quite useful to you if you can get time release
More information on VET than the session presented at the VITTA conference last
November.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>7. In
March VCAA will be running a VET scored assessment workshop keep an eye out for
details - recommended for new teachers with students undertaking scored
assessment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I
have a number of websites and some unit checklists that can be use to develop
tasks- this is being developed into a format that can be put on line and can be
used and updated by other registered members. A wiki or some other secure
social website is being considered, probably in conjunction with VITTA. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

frustration. Have you contacted Allan Barnes -- abarnes@aiet.com.au. check out
his website and contact him. He runs courses and has written some textbooks.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Yes I know but I need to teach the subject before then so
where do I<br>
get task samples?<br>
Some units say they go for 60 hours and I get to know about what to<br>
teach is a few unit course lines. It is really not well explained and<br>
I need some help.<br>
